April 14, 2017, more than 9 o'clock last night, a fire broke out in a cafe located in the third north of Dongcheng District intersection. Two people were trapped at the time of the incident and were later rescued by the crew who were filming nearby, and one was slightly injured.

A fire broke out in a cafe located in the third north of Dongcheng District intersection.

At 8 o'clock this morning, the reporter saw at the scene of the incident that the fire was caught in the kitchen of a cafe in the hutong, next to the residential building. The cafe is flanked by six or seven small shops, and the roof of the kitchen behind the cafe has been burnt down and the house is in a mess.

When the fire broke out, a crew was filming in the store next to the cafe. A crew member told reporters that the fire was not small at that time, and the cafe was full of smoke. Through the smoke, they found two people trapped in the cafe, so they quickly smashed the back window of the cafe and rescued them, one of whom was slightly injured. They heard from the injured people that the fire was caused by an explosion of the battery while a motorcycle was charging in the operating room, and then caught fire. "the flames shot up so high that they were very close to us, and everyone was very worried." Ms. Yang lives in a residential building next to the cafe. When the fire broke out last night, the family was about to go to bed when they heard someone shouting that there was a fire. She leaned over the window and knew that the cafe downstairs was burning. "I was very scared at that time. Although my family lived on the fifth floor, the fire glowed the windows and there was a lot of smoke. Fortunately, the fire engine finally arrived." Speaking of the scene last night, Ms. Yang was still frightened. The reporter noticed that the cafe that caught fire was located in the middle of the three hutongs at the intersection, about 500 to 600 meters away from the roads on both sides of the hutongs. Private cars are parked on both sides of the five-or six-meter-wide hutong, and large fire engines can't get in at all.

A resident told the reporter that the cafe was about to be demolished, but it caught fire first.
